The patterns that kept you safe don’t have to keep you stuck. I see therapy as a place for deep listening—to your body, your history, and the person you’re becoming. Rooted in somatic and identity-affirming care, I help clients discover who they are beyond survival patterns, shame, and expectation. We’ll notice where old stories live, where you feel stuck or disconnected, and where there’s space to grow into a fuller, more authentic you. I welcome LGBTQ+ folks, fat and body-diverse individuals, neurodivergent minds, and anyone exploring their identity, trauma, or belonging.

What can a Hispanic and Latino therapist help with?
A Hispanic or Latino therapist can support clients with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. What may set a therapist who personally identifies as Hispanic or Latino apart, however, is their ability to integrate cultural context into your care. If you identify with a specific cultural background, such as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Brazilian, or Colombian, working with a therapist who shares your identity can make a meaningful difference in therapy since you may feel that you have to explain yourself less, or that certain cultural values around family, respect, religion, and emotional expression are more understood by them.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language plays a central role in how people process and express emotions. Even for individuals who are fluent in English, certain feelings, memories, or experiences may be easier to describe in Spanish or in the language they grew up speaking. For many Hispanic and Latino clients, language is also closely tied to identity and family relationships. Being able to move between English and Spanish in therapy can help reflect real-life dynamics, such as communicating with family members in one language and navigating work or school in another. Read more about the advantages of choosing a bilingual counselor here.
How can a Hispanic and Latino therapist support family therapy?
Family is central in many Hispanic and Latino cultures, and a therapist with cultural familiarity may be better equipped to navigate family dynamics without oversimplifying them. Culturally responsive therapists may be able to more accurately interpret family roles and dynamics, thus allowing them to distinguish between cultural norms and clinically concerning dynamics. In addition, Hispanic and Latino therapists who speak Spanish may be a particularly good fit for bilingual or multilingual families, as a therapist that can facilitate clearly across languages will help ensure that all family members feel heard and understood.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
The best way to inquire about a therapist’s specific experience with Hispanic and Latino clients is to ask them targeted questions during an initial phone call or consultation. Consider asking questions such as: What experience do you have working with Hispanic or Latino clients? How do you incorporate cultural background into your approach to therapy? Do you offer therapy in Spanish or another language? You may also ask about specific examples of when they’ve navigated working with Hispanic and Latino clients.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The Psychology Today directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity on their profile. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
